Israel hits Iran's Defence Ministry, nuclear-linked sites in Tehran amid escalating missile exchanges

Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran early Sunday, targeting the Iranian Defence Ministry headquarters in Tehran and facilities linked to the country's energy infrastructure. The strikes marked an escalation in the ongoing hostilities that erupted two days ago, when Israel mounted a surprise attack to cripple Iran’s nuclear programme. Tehran retaliated with another barrage of missiles that Israeli officials said killed four people in a residential building in Galilee. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard claimed it had struck fuel production sites used by Israeli fighter jets and warned of further missile attacks if Israeli airstrikes continue.
